According to the official website of SBI Mutual Fund, the three main phrases, which act as a guiding force for the investment performance, are:

Long-term capital appreciation for the investor: Our fund manager's view is not guided by any momentum play but by the objective of generating sustainable performance for the investor.

Superior stock selection: Our team is encouraged to be ahead of the rest of the industry in terms of identifying new ideas and opportunities.

Active fund management: While the performance of all the funds is benchmarked against a specific index, we do not encourage our investment team to replicate the index composition with the fund portfolio.

SBI Mutual Fund states that its mission is to establish mutual funds as a viable investment option to the masses in the country. "Working towards it, we developed innovative, need-specific products and educated the investors about the added benefits of investing in capital markets via mutual funds, says the fund house."

According to SBI Mutual Fund, its objective is to outperform benchmarks through well researched investments in Indian equities. "This is achieved by implementing an active management style based on fundamental analysis, leading to the construction of a portfolio. It could be blended, large cap, mid cap, or specific sector oriented - which aims at capturing the growth potential of Indian equities," says the fund house.
